Because I do have neck concerns as well - occasional pain (not constant / frequent like lumbar)... But the imaging looks pretty bad and it won't get better.
Unfortunately I'm currently "hung up" on the elastomer within the ESP and the chemicals it can degrade into... Search for "salted" in the LP-ESP 7 year study. (I also made a post about it in the manufacturer sub-forum)

Four central disc protrusions in thoracic spine.
C5-C6, C6-C7 bulging, bone spurs. Imaging not looking good. Successful CP-ESP's placed in Oct 2019 by Dr. Desai.
Delayed lumbar surgery to work on bone density. Considering options now, some but minimal bone density improvement. Will only use LP-ESP.
